  • Article expanded over fivefold at the date of the nomination. The original hook is quite interesting, though then again so is ALT1. Either way, both sourced and cited inline. This is your third DYK, so after this you have 2 more freebie. Juxlos (talk) 08:11, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Thanks. 👍 Good work on the Indonesian articles btw. Bremps! 14:48, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
